Chapter 421: The Family's Calculations (Part 2)
It is difficult to say whether the Wang family leader’s idea is correct or not.
From the perspective of the family, everything he did was correct. For the sake of the strength of the family and the continuation of the family, who would care if the methods were dirty.
As for what it is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people.
Sorry, these must be based on a strong family. The country can be strong and the people can be rich, but none of this can affect their own family. This is the same idea of all aristocratic families and their code of conduct.
To put it in a more common saying, that is, I haven’t understood the life yet, so I have no intention of controlling others.
This view of family, country, and world has never changed even after hundreds or thousands of years, let alone in ancient times.
The heads of the other families nodded in agreement, and the head of the Lu family even asked: "Brother Wang is very proud, I admire you. I just don't know how to do it specifically? The boy from the Li family is not easy to deal with, not to mention that His Majesty may not have really given up on him."
The head of the Wang family smiled slightly: "This matter is simple, with six words to respond to changes in the same way."
Well, it's really six words.
But..., what does it mean.
Everyone's eyes were blurred, their drunken eyes were squinted, and they asked in a false sense: "Brother Wang, can you tell me in detail?"
The head of the Wang family suddenly felt that it was so cold that it was so cold that it was full of bronze. He was the only one who could not carry it.
"Everyone, my meaning is actually very simple. The boy from the Li family has been warehousing and building roads recently. During this period, I heard that this guy has to reuse the same tricks. Why do you use work for relief? I paid for the new official position for Qizhou Prefecture. Hey, think about it, these things are not costing a huge million yuan, and even if there is a mine at home, I can't stand it, right?
The Li family boy is young and inexperienced. Li Jing is dedicated to making achievements and keeping his reputation in history. The little money he saved originally was afraid that it will take a long time to clean it. If the project is not over yet, think about it, there are countless victims hungry under him, but the Li family has no money to buy food to fill their appetites. What will happen?"
Someone around him said, "It's time for civil changes, and the people will definitely think they have been fooled."
At the same time, some people questioned: "With that being said, what if that, the boy from the Li family saved millions of money at the beginning, what if he held on?"
"Nothing is the case." The head of the Wang family smiled confidently: "Because the disaster is not only Qizhou, he can build the roads in Qizhou, what about Qinzhou? What about Jingzhou? There are also Ningzhou, Qingzhou, Fangzhou, Yuanzhou, Huizhou, Guanzhong as big as dozens of prefectures, there is no reason that Li Dejian is only responsible for one Qizhou."
Now everyone understood, and the head of the Li family in Zhao County said loudly: "Gao, it's really high. When I go back later, I will write a letter to my third brother and ask him to send someone to Qizhou for rescue immediately."
"Well, you guys have to hurry up. Time doesn't wait for anyone. If it rains after a while, our plan will be ruined."
"Yes, that's the reason. Let's have time to get together in the future. Let's part in the first place today."
"Oh, it's a pity that Lao Zheng left early. If Zheng hadn't left, he would have brought some more prefectures."
"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions."
Amid the discussion, the five surnames and seven hopes removed the Zheng family in Xingyang, and after establishing an offensive and defensive alliance, the rest of the families scattered and went home to arrange for people to leave.
"Hmph, a group of fools." After everyone left, the head of the Zheng family moved out of the backyard of the Wang family mansion, sneered at the gate, with disdain on his face.
The head of the Wang family just happened to send someone back from outside. He laughed at him: "Brother Zheng doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as those short-sighted people. Come on, let's sit down and have a good chat."
The head of the Zheng family sat down as he said, and a servant next to him had already brought the brewed tea: "Brother Wang, I have something unknown, I hope my elder brother will give me advice."
The head of the Wang family smiled slightly: "Brother Zheng wants to ask why Wang wants to arrange for several other companies to participate in this matter?"
"Yes." The head of the Zheng family nodded: "It was originally good that our two families participated in this matter. Now, if you involve the other companies, don't you be afraid of affecting your whole body and end up in nothing?"
"Brother Zheng is such a bad word. In my opinion, the more people involved in this matter, the better. After all, it is better to give timely help than to add icing on the cake."
The head of the Zheng family frowned and immediately understood what the head of the Wang family meant.
The other companies set obstacles for Li Hao, artificially increased the difficulty of the task, and then waited until Li Hao could not hold on to it, the Wang family took action again. This not only sold favors but also brought greater benefits to the Wang family.
I have to say that his skills are really good, but...
"Brother Wang, aren't you afraid that this will completely offend several other companies?"
"What are you afraid of? At worst, I can just pull them up when we negotiate the conditions in the future. I'm afraid that too many people know will leak the news. Anyway, by that time, the Li family boy must have been on the verge of collapse. He is still letting us fiddle with him when he has no choice."
If this is true, the head of the Zheng family did not give any hope for Lao Wang's plan, but he was as clever as he did not point it out: "Brother Wang is very good, Zheng admires it, so I will go back and wait for Brother Wang's news. When the time is right, we will take action together."
"Hahaha... OK, that's it."
After another conspiracy, because it was too late, the head of the Zheng family lived in the Wang family.
After Lao Zheng left with the servant, the head of the Wang family turned cold and spat hard on the ground: "I'm old, I really think I don't know if you sent your grandson to Qizhou long ago. You're a little tender."
After saying that, the head of the Wang family turned his head and ordered: "Come on, come and find Yuande for me and ask him to go to the study and wait for me."
"No!" The butler flashed behind the head of the Wang family and responded and left quickly. In the spacious hall, only the head of the Wang family was left with his fingers and slid his desk, calculating today's gains and losses.
There is no doubt that by borrowing the conflict between Li Hao and Zheng Keshuang, the Zheng family has already formed a relationship with that bastard guy, and it is very likely that the two have even cooperated.
However, Zheng may feel that he did not gain much advantage in the cooperation, so he leaked some of the news to him, intending to take the Wang family to put pressure on a bastard to seek greater benefits.
Fortunately, I was not a fool either. I saw through the Zheng family's conspiracy and pulled the other families on board. Perhaps the process was a bit tortuous, but overall it was quite successful.
If nothing unexpected happens to the other families, they will definitely be able to arrange everything within three days. If the general trend is going to happen, if the boy from the Li family does not agree to help, he can drown him in one mouthful of spit in the world.
Therefore, you should consider how much money your family can spend, and then consider how much benefits you need. After all, the Li family's kid is more professional. You can't lose too much. After the cooperation, you have to leave some soup for him.
Thinking of this, the corners of the Wang family's mouth couldn't help but raise a little, as if he saw a beautiful tomorrow waving to him.
...
While several major families showed their magical powers, a huge team of people entered Qizhou in a mess.
At the front of the team, Cheng Chumo and Changsun Chong and other young people were exploring the way. The team of hundreds of people was covered in dust and almost lost.
In the middle of the team, Fu Yun, the former king of Tuyuhun, was the head of the country, and behind them were the large group of ambassadors organized by the kings of the Western Regions such as Gaochang, Qiemo, Guizi, and Yutian.
Behind it is Lao Cheng's army, where tens of thousands of troops pass by smoke and dust, and no grass grows.
But then again, in the case of severe drought in Guanzhong, there was not much grass on the ground.
Li Hao had already received the news that Lao Cheng was coming a few days ago, and he brought two followers and more than ten guards to guard the border between Qizhou and Longzhou to wait for their arrival.
When they met, Li Hao almost recognized a few brothers from the past. It was not until Cheng Chumo jumped down from his horse to ask for water to drink. Then he suddenly realized: "Chumo, what's wrong? Didn't I tell you that the drought in Guanzhong is so severe? I brought your own drinks when I came here, why did it still make me so embarrassed?"
"Hi, don't mention it." Cheng Chumo slapped his thigh, his face full of expressions that were hard to describe.
Changsun Chong got off the horse and stuck out his tongue, saying, "Dejian, stop talking nonsense to me, hurry up, take out the water, if you don't take it out, just wait for me to follow me."
Well, when it comes to this point, what can Li Hao say? He waved his hand and immediately someone took a scoop full of water and handed it to Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong and others.
These two guys were not polite, and took it and drank it hard until they drank it all over. They stopped feeling unsatisfied and said, "It's so satisfying."
"It's so good, don't you tell me what's going on." Li Hao was also impatient. He had arranged for someone to deliver the water to the soldiers when these two best friends were drinking water. Seeing that they were still there, they couldn't help but get into the room in a hurry.
You know, Lao Cheng has an army of tens of thousands of people. If they lack it, they will have a mutiny if they don’t do it well.
Changsun Chong drank full of water and sighed and relieved Li Hao's doubts: "Are they all the bastards behind him, they are used to being fed with luxury. Even though they know that they lack water, they still have to take a bath a day. The little water they brought out is not enough for them to tossing."
So that's the case. Li Hao breathed a little relieved, looked at Lalu, and said dissatisfiedly: "How is Uncle Cheng's side? The army is as short of water as you?"
"That's not, my father doesn't spoil them." Cheng Chumo also recovered a little, staring at the moment and complained: "Actually, this is a matter of Chongzi. If he hadn't been thinking about some etiquette and saying that he wouldn't let the missions of foreign countries suffer grievances, I wouldn't have spoiled them."
"Okay, it's not over yet." Changsun rolled his eyes and said, "After all, those are the lords of a country, and the face they should be given must be given."
Seeing that these two guys were still in a fight, Li Hao felt much more relaxed. As long as it did not affect the return of the army, everything else was a trivial matter.
He reached out to wrap his hand around the shoulders of the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't talk about those useless things, just come back. It just so happens that I have some trouble here, brothers, and I'll feel relieved when you come back."
"Is there any trouble?" Cheng Chumo suddenly felt spirited: "Who dares to trouble our brothers? You said, I will destroy him."
Looking at Xiao Cheng who was indignant, Li Hao silently said three words: "It's Your Majesty."
Cheng Chumo: "..."
Changsun Chong: “…”
After a while, Cheng Chumo called out: "Haha, then, what, I haven't eaten yet, do you have any food here?"
Li Hao rolled his eyes and said angrily: "No! There are hundreds of people, how can I prepare for food? Whatever I have to eat?"
"hehe……"
"Ha ha……"
There was another silence, and the three of them laughed at each other. Amid the laughter, the embarrassment just now passed with the wind.
After laughing enough, Changsun Chong said seriously: "Dejian, it's not that brothers don't stay with you. It's really that military orders are there. Before the army arrives in Beijing, we must stand for the front of the army, so..."
"Okay, I know, the main purpose of my visit this time is to see you, and the second is to see if you have any needs. In addition, I have built a hundred deep wells in Qizhou, and there are pumps constantly picking out water every day. If you need it, I will tell the Qizhou Instigator to supply you first every day."
When Cheng Chumo heard this, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "That's great. My father also sent a letter yesterday and said that if the former army did not solve the problem of water, they would take the heads of us to sacrifice the flag."
When Li Hao heard Xiao Cheng's words, he didn't care at all. He talked about the need of the army and immediately sent someone to send a quick horse to Yan Feibai, Qizhou Prefecture.
After everything was arranged, he pulled the two again and said, "I have arranged the matters at the garrison. Fifteen miles ahead, there is a river beach suitable for the army to camp."
"Okay, you are familiar with Qizhou. Just take a look at the arrangement." Changsun Chong smacked his lips, his eyes involuntarily glanced at the water bag that had just been filled. If he hadn't really been able to drink it, he would really want to pour all the water in the water bag into his stomach.
Cheng Chumo is more naughty than Changsun. He walked with Li Hao like nothing else. He changed the subject and said: "Dejian, you have made a big splash in the Western Regions this time. Those kings behind him kept shouting that they had the opportunity to meet you."
Li Hao shook his head: "What are you doing when you see them? It's boring. I might as well get the Qizhou project done at that time."
Li Hao is not a fool. He knew exactly what the lords of the small Western countries wanted to see him. He just wanted to get some benefits from him.
This kind of thing is actually the same when it comes to see them early and late. He did not go to see them in advance if it might cause Li Er to be unhappy.
